Become a Teacher in Connecticut

  In the school year of 2003-2004, Connecticut had the highest average teacher salary throughout the states! Great news for those who are already teachers and fully embedded within a system that is on the go. However, for those looking to get their foot in the door, such a bonus in salary can make jobs scarce. Looking for a coveted job with nothing to set you apart from the heaps of other applicants can be a terribly stressful endeavor. But, this is no time to be biting nails, there are solutions that will help you immeasurably with your entrance into becoming a teacher and throughout your career.

  Future Connecticut Teachers: Getting your foot in the door may seem to be the most important objective in your life right now. However, over the life of your career, this is one small step before the mountain that lay before you. Yet, conveniently, there is one step you can take now that will not only help you get your foot in the door, it will cut the top off of that mountain. Earn your Master's degree or PhD from a top, accredited university. Along with your certification, this will set you apart in the eyes of employers. You will learn valuable skills in the classroom, you will understand contemporary teaching theories, assessment strategies, resource management, student-data analysis and much more. As a bonus to your better marketability and your quality as a teacher, you will also be paid an even higher salary!

  Current Connecticut Teachers and Administrators: The Connecticut public education system is currently setting the bar for all other states. Those in administrative positions and veteran teaching jobs have performed well and are going to be needing equally as talented replacements to continue Connecticut's advancement. If you are a motivated teacher who wants to make a real difference, use your experience and knowledge of real life within the walls of elementary and secondary education and earn an advanced degree. Become a more powerful Connecticut teacher or step up and become an administrator with a Master's degree, a Doctorate in Education or earn your Administrative Credentials.

"I decided to go to graduate school and earn my Master of Arts in Education because I am inspired by new knowledge. I feel in order to perform my job to the best of my ability, I need to keep up with current practices and trends in the field of education." - Sara Marvez -- 6th grade science teacher

"Gaining my Masters degree has earned me respect from Administrators and colleagues. Also, my salary has benefitted greatly. The cost of graduate school was paid off in only a couple years." - Thomas Bjornson -- high school english teacher

"Postgraduate study was a personal goal of mine and completing my Masters degree has given me a great sense of personal satisfaction, it has also increased my efficiency in the classroom and my marketability in the job market."- Janet O'Reilly -- 8th grade social studies teacher

"I found my online courses efficient and friendly. I had a desire to go to graduate school, but I didn't want to go through the nonsense of another undergraduate degree, bumping shoulders with students a third my age who have very little understanding of real life or the benefits of real knowledge. A friend recommended online education and I haven't looked back since. At the age of 53, I love my job more than ever. I get so much satisfaction knowing that many of my students respect me for what I do as a teacher. I am able to face any sort of situation that arises in my classroom with complete confidence."
- Jonathan Lloyd -- high school chemistry teacher
